This week I went to a Jenny O'Leary workshop at Littleheath Barn Studio. It's not often that workshops use architecture for the inspiration so of course I was going to sign up.
I found some John Piper images online of his paintings of Venice - where else!!
Jenny introduced us to a variety of tools and ideas for a more experimiental and user-friendly way of doing batik.
Firstly we coloured our fabrics with ink.
I added pattern with oil pastel rubbings
I drew with the oil pastel
I added more inks - this time dark brown and blue - before bleaching some of it back with Milton.
These pieces are too dark for me but there are possibilities. I may well cut the fabric up and collage it back together.
I have learned some new techniques and I know how to do it again to have a more muted colour palette.
Thanks for be with me today
